Quivey's Grove Heritage Cookbook

Summary: Recipes in this book will rival anyone's Grandmother's best!
Review: Being a local to Madison, Wisconsin, I felt I had to write this review. Quivey's Grove is a fabulous mid-western restaurant housed in an 18th century farmhouse with just the right blend of food to make you cry from joy, with a homey ambiance filled with antiques, quilts and creaky wooden floors to whisk you back to another time and another place. All the entres in the restaurant as well as the recipes held within this book are made with an eye to midwestern seasonal (i.e. fresh) foods prepared expertly. There are special sections on holiday foods that will rival even the most dear childhood memory of dinner at Grandma's. The desserts are exquisite! Sample recipes include; duck and cherry tart, smoked trout and roasted red pepper terrine, roasted chicken breast with apple, dried cherry, and black walnut stuffing, sweet potato shoestrings, cranberry chutney, chocolate truffles, black walnut tart with maple cream, pork Brigham with apple brandy cream sauce, and steamed gingerbread pudding with brandy cream sauce. While these recipes are NOT for the diabetic, or those with specialized diets, they are wonderful treats! Enjoy!
